After only getting the ball to him once during the first week and not targeting him regularly after the first quarter last week, it seems like Kyler was forcing the ball to Harrison this week. Harrison is showing some weakness when it comes to drops and not looking for the ball when it is there. This team has a tremendous group of tight ends and decent receivers in Michael Wilson and Dortch. I think that Harrison not going through the typical draft preparation, offseason and preseason process has hampered his development. There is a difference between catching the ball from the jugs machine and actually playing against NFL quality talent. I hope that the Cardinals don’t continue to force the ball to Harrison going forward

The typical draft prep for a WR is cutting weight and training for the 40 yard dash. What Marvin did instead of that was working on running routes and catching balls. The offseason and preseason process he had was the same as every other receiver in the NFL. What are you talking about?

Kyler was definitely forcing it to Harrison. I think he just didn't trust the defense to gets stops and hoped that throwing it to the best player on our offense would get results. The Lions shutting down our run game really killed us.

He made some extremely costly mistakes- but cmon man isn’t this a bit of an over reaction? I think there is a lot for him to learn from the game tape today.

Make no mistake though- if we can’t get MHjr-Kyler connection red hot- this offense is in big trouble. Let them go through the growing pains- keep looking his way

Week 1: K1 needs to get MHJ the ball.

Week 3: K1 is forcing the ball to MHJ.

You people are unserious.

Making the hard catch when the team needs a play is exactly Marvin's job. It's why he was drafted at #4 instead of #14

Growing pains suck but we need the connection to get there. So far both kyler and Marv seem to be dedicated to putting in the work.
